“Look! Someone is coming, like an eagle ·diving down from the sky [swooping down]
    and spreading its wings over Moab [49:22; Ezek. 17:3–4; Hos. 8:1].
⁴¹ The towns of Moab will be captured,
    and the ·strong, walled cities [fortresses] will be ·defeated [seized].
·At that time [^LOn that day] ·Moab’s warriors will be frightened, [^Lthe heart of Moab’s warriors will be]
    like ·a [^Lthe heart of a] woman who is ·having a baby [in labor].
⁴² The nation of Moab will be destroyed,
    because they ·thought they were greater than [magnified themselves over] the Lord.
